PAKE FOUR THINGS You Should Know ABOUT Public Welfare Work ! By Mrs. Maude Phelps Acting Supt. Public Welfare Through the administration of aid to the needy blind, which is handled by the County Welfare Departments, the Blind Commission of North Carolina has given financial aid during the past fiscal year ot approximately 2,300 persons. Special case work services are offered otthese visually handicapped, by a blind case worker. With a man power shortage, the world of industry and business needs workers, and the blind are being given an opportunity to show what they can do. Many jobs are being filled just as efficiently by blind people as by those with normal sight ? because their developed sense of touch has been proven more accurate than machines. A large number of placements have been made in mica factories, where they are able to sort mica more acourately than it can be sorted by ' the mechanical precision instruments. It was blind Helen Kejler who said: "There is no law on the statue books compelling people to shove up closer on the i ^ A fewtimeltf dnops HELP PREVENT MANY % COLDS from developing Put a few drops of Va-tro-nol up each nostril at the very first sniffle or sneeze.

A program of prevention of i blindness is being given through I county eye clinics, and to con>'duct these calls for community i! cooperation. We are hopeful that j very soon, there will be held in Brunswick County, an eye clinic, j There are 13 indigent blind in j Brunswick County, and Miss Mary i Lovett, blind worker, whose head; quarters are in Clinton, Sampson I County, services these cases. She spends one or two days each month in the county. She intends to help these people to help themselves. In beginning this work, she expressed a desire for $6.00, which .will be known as a rotating fund for the blind of the county. This (money will be used first, to buy | looped clipps, to be used in rug I weaving. Miss Lovett will teach j the client how to make these rugs (for which she has an available .market). The client sells his rugs! | and the first $6.00 he makes is re-1 , turned to Miss Lovett, to be used I .for purchasing materil to.be used' I by another client ? and so the j ! fund rotates. II The members of the Live Oak j Chapter of Eastern Star, of South! port, heard of this and immediately and whole heartedly responded | with a donation of $6.00 to be | used for this purpose. We are delighted with this response from these fine women ? because the heaviest burden on these blind people is not their blindness, but their idleness. RESTRICTION LIFTED According to Charles Trott, Cotho Rrnnswirk C!oun ty Civilian Defense Council, light restrictions which have until now been prescribed for the first two blocks in Southport have been lifted. The waterfront dees not have to be completely blacked out as formerly but must follow the restrictions laid down for the whole j county. HERE OCERY NEEDS. 5 FIRST Iowa Y Ierchandise h N.

With other laborers he was unloading crossties. He was outside on the ground while other laborers were throwing the ties through the door of a box car. Harrison is said to have approached the door to look inside just as the men threw a crosstie out. The heavy chunk of wood struck him on the head. Coroner W. E. Bell investigated and after hearing the evidence of eyewitnesses ruled it a case of accidental death. Are Assigned To Different Ships Boatswain Mate Frank Potter is leaving this week to report aboard an aircraft carrier to which he has been assigned for duty. His brother, Boatswain Mate Bryant Poter has been assigned to a cruiser. The two men, sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Potter, served together on the cruiser, Helena, from the ; time she was commissioned until she was sunk in a battle with the Japanese. I Care For Hogs After Treating There has been no serious losses from her cholera in Brunswick t his fall. This despite the fact that the disease is prevalent in several sections. More than a thousand hogs were vaccinated laot wool? riiirine' nart time work! of the several men who are qualified to administer the preventive treatment. An expert on hogs says that after being vaccinated against cholera hogs should be taken good care of in the matter of feed, shelter, etc. Local Youth Has Artistic Talent William E. Jenkins, 19-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. ?. ?. Jenkins, of Southport, is giving much promise as an artist, despite the fact that he has never had the benefit of any training. All of his spare time is spent with paints and brushes. Some of his scenes from life are exceptionally good and he also excells at copying portraits and pictures. Will Double The Small Grain Crop Not having had time to check up on the plans for small grain sowing in all sections of the county, County Agent J. E. Dodson is very highly gratified at his findings at the few places where he has been able to look into the situation. He stated this week that the Winnabow, Funston and Hoods Creek communities were all set to increase their planting by at least 100 per cent. The agent anticipates that practically all sections of the county will have a like increase. Interesting Old City Tax Receipt In the Pilot office yesterday Captain Fred Burris, veteran Southport fisherman, exhibited some interesting old tax receipts. One of them, a town tax receipt, was made out to the Captain on November 30th, 1896, for town taxes, and was in the sum of $1.60. Quite a difference in what was paid for taxes then and what is collected now. The late Dr. D. I ales | (i II II i( ATURDAY, !!

Fattening Up Many Hogs 1 On Wonderful Chufa Crop ] (Continued from page 1) > Chufas are not grown ex- ' 1 tensively in Brunswick county j j and it may be interesting to | Brunswick farmers to learn that j. this field will apparently prod- j1 uce a great deal more than any ' like area that has ever been J grown in peanuts. Of course the peanut has a bulky shell, which j is sometimes only a dud, and 1' a peanut field may produce < more bulk. Chufas, however, . have no shell. They are food all f the way through. They are j much like minature sweet pota- ] toes. A single chufa seed some- ; times produces several hundred. ] They are valued for hog feed. ( M PAPER PLAYING t IMPORTANT PART ' IN WORLD AFFAIRS1!

Fol- 1 lowing the advice of his county i agent, he secured bids fr selec- ' tive cutting of this timber and ' a few days ago he was able to pay the last dollar that he owed ' on earth, still having a smaii balance in the bank. His 40-year ( loan was paid in five years, and by crop to which he had given little consideration. The moral to this is that the woods croping is the most 1 valuable crop that can be grown ' on the farms of this or any ! other southern area. It can be 1 sold on the stump without the expense of harvesting. "In growing it all the attention that is 1 required is to prevent it being !1 destroyed by forest fires. HARD GOING FOR THE RATION BOARD ! (Continued From Page One) board, has also had to resign. She ' is moving to Wilmington, where her husband is employed. Still another worry to the board is that Mrs. Lucile Lewis, Clerk ; at the Shallotte office, has had to obtain a two weeks leave of ab- ' sence, owing to her health. As no one could be secured to replace her, the shallotte office is closed for the two weeks. Mrs. Jones was employed under the Civil Service. It will be necessary for her successor to stand a 1 civil service examination. I SAW SON-IN-LAW WITH MacARTHUR (Continued From Page one) several other Southport people were in Wilmington and saw thej news reel film showing colonel Kinsler in a conference with Gen-1 eral MacArthur. Mrs. Kinsler, a | daughter of Mrs. Thompson, andj her son, Kenneth Kinsler, Jr. arc' residing in Charleston during the i winter. Kenneth is a student at Porter Military Institute at Charleston. VERY POOR CROP BUT GOOD RETURNS (Continued From Page One) and small pears. This fall's harvest ran to only 1,000 bushels. There are one compensation for the small crop, however. This year's production brought $2.50 per bushel, an exceptionally good price. With a normal increase, allowing for young trees producing, Mr. Harrison should have obtained somewhere about 7,000 bushels of the pears this year from his 12,000 trees. While the returns from the pear trees were only moderate, there were other things on the farm that turned out good. 60 acres were devoted to watermelons and these produced well and sold at an exceptionally high price. Mr. Harrison has a lot of chickens, 50 hogs, a few cows and several acres of sweet potatoes, in addition to corn and other farm crops.

CRAIG DIES OF HEART ATTACK (Continued From Page One) of the Southport Baptist church. Leaving here, he held another churches in various parts of the state, dying in 1928. During his days as a minister he was widely known and generally beloved. He was a brother of former Governor Locke Craig. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Craig made her home with her daughters, spending much time each year with Mrs. Thompson McRackan at Southport. Funeral services were held at Monroe Friday afternoon. Surviving are the following children: Mrs. M. T. McRackan, of Southport; Mrs. Guy Phillips, of Chapel Hill; Mrs. W. L.

HEARS ** STATE EDUCATORS ui (Continued From Page One) eg these problems, as brought out by y Vliss Paulukas, were those of the ,iursery schools, adult education, b(. making education active and pt broader than the mere use of g. textbooks allow, technical trainng, a more inclusive health program, and a thorough training in fe government and civic responsibi- er ity. pi The whole problem of education ly n a postwar world is a difficult me to handle, and as important to is the problems themselve are, ire the means of solving those q problems. In a democracy we resize that we are .not striving for i blueprint to ' be handed down from above. It is true that some T] overall plan must be devised, but O! this must be modified drastically Si to fit local needs and conditions. 01 The important thing is to get the people of the community to work tv :ogether, defining the problems es :hat face the education of the sa pouth, and through discussion and tr 'hnrnncrh understanding, to reach m o-- ?. i reasonable conclusion in the d< solution of them. It is only c< through such planning that we P< can hope to preserve our democratic way of life. "It is unreasonable to hope," N stated Mr. Greene, "That we can, _j is soon as the war is won, return to those conditions that existed prior to Pearl Harbor." The ivorld has become a much smaller place, and we have learned that we cannot disregard what other peoples do. Our children must learn to understand the rest of the world and its problems, and to realize that to keep liberty and equality for ourselves, we must be willing to share it. Furthermore, we needn't ever believe tr.a? c.lztlng conditions at any one period can exist indefinitely. One certainty that we must realize and gear ourselves for, is that change is inevitable. We must educate our children to expect change?not only in material things, but in social institutions as well. The school of the Revolutionary war period could no more effectively educate the child for participation in life as It is today than could a cannon of that day be used effectively in modern warfare. Bring our education up to date, plan it together, and we shall perpetuate the school as one of the most important institutions in a democracy.
